Sorry to hear about your troubles... in the end, its like getting new skis, never buy a pair if you don't try them first, no matter what the seller tells you! Good luck to you McRide.

Glad to know you finally have a happy ending to your story. Been waiting for the outcome for a looooong time! Ride safe!

Thanks all, problem solved. The forum is such help!

I brought my kids for a couple of rides when they were small. Honestly, I never felt completely comfortable with it... especially on the highway. They loved it of course, but daddy was nervous the whole time.

So.... ? did this story have a happy ending? Curious to know what the problem was... I have a 2006.

Hi Fred Interesting point and would make some sense. I unfortunately didn't notice or even examined them to see. If you wait a week or two, I'll just reopen it and take some measurements! It is certain the seller knew about the problem... it is impossible to miss unless you never twist the...

The FJ's are my son's. the white one is modified and leaves me in the dust... maybe now with my new second gear... Project took approximatively 40 hours. Can't wait to try it out... in three months!

Problem solved. Thanks for looking. Cheers.

That is gorgeous! Should put a photo of what it looked like before.

Thanks, glad you liked it. Imovie... came with my Mac. Super user friendly. One rung at the time... up the ladder it went, had to improvise. Cheers

Thanks. Its more intimidating that what is really is. Everything breaks down in little bolts and parts. Bag'em and number them, and follow procedures... I'm a bit of a jack of all trades but spend most of my time working on solving the world's greatest problem. Cheers

My pleasure. I just had so much fun doing this (the video I mean... the mechanics is definitely interesting and challenging, although less fun!). But the satisfaction is right up there! Good luck with your bike. Have a great New year!

Just finished major surgery on my 2006. Second gear dogs were slipping when I twisted the throttle hard... which took a sensible amount of fun out of riding my bike. Hope it helps someone. Here's the link of a video I made about it. Enjoy.

Job done! thanks for all the greats tips and leads!

Hi Black2, I just posted a video on my second gear repair... might interest you. Happy new year
